Overjoyed About October

Wow! We are already three-quarters through the year of 2014! Amazing how time flies by, especially when so many movies, shows, and books are released! Sometimes, it is exhausting to keep up with all the fun and exciting events that happens throughout the year to celebrate the release of my favorite things that I tend to "fangirl" over. But, I do try to get to as many events that I can...haha! With all the other distractions such as work and family...and that pesky "responsibilities," I think I have done okay on attending the events that I have and was looking forward to.Now that September has come to a close, several Fall television series have returned, and new ones have begun. But, enough of looking back at all the fun and excitement that has come and gone, but never forgotten. The Fall season has begun with several premieres of returning and new television series that we all are looking forward to...that I know I am and all of you are excited about. In addition to television, we have a whole onslaught of movies releasing this month...so much so that I know I can't name all the titles...haha! To top it all off, several of my favorite authors have books coming out, and I am so looking forward to when they go on tour to promote their books! I just have to cross my fingers so that I will be able to go to these fun book events!So...without any further delay, I would love to share with you what few movies, shows, and books I am looking forward to this month! Don't get me wrong, I am really excited about so many that just listing it ALL down would take so much time! I think I will just mention the few that REALLY stands out for me. :)

The Young Elites, #1

Publish Date:

October 7, 2014

Summary from Goodreads:

I am tired of being used, hurt, and cast aside.

Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever. A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through her nation. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings. Adelina’s black hair turned silver, her lashes went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Her cruel father believes she is a malfetto, an abomination, ruining their family’s good name and standing in the way of their fortune. But some of the fever’s survivors are rumored to possess more than just scars—they are believed to have mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain secret, they have come to be called the Young Elites.

Teren Santoro works for the king. As Leader of the Inquisition Axis, it is his job to seek out the Young Elites, to destroy them before they destroy the nation. He believes the Young Elites to be dangerous and vengeful, but it’s Teren who may possess the darkest secret of all.

Enzo Valenciano is a member of the Dagger Society. This secret sect of Young Elites seeks out others like them before the Inquisition Axis can. But when the Daggers find Adelina, they discover someone with powers like they’ve never seen.

Adelina wants to believe Enzo is on her side, and that Teren is the true enemy. But the lives of these three will collide in unexpected ways, as each fights a very different and personal battle. But of one thing they are all certain: Adelina has abilities that shouldn’t belong in this world. A vengeful blackness in her heart. And a desire to destroy all who dare to cross her.

It is my turn to use. My turn to hurt.

In exchange for her life, Britt agrees to guide the men off the mountain. As they set off, Britt knows she must stay alive long enough for Calvin to find her. The task is made even more complicated when Britt finds chilling evidence of a series of murders that have taken place there... and in uncovering this, she may become the killer’s next target.

But nothing is as it seems in the mountains, and everyone is keeping secrets, including Mason, one of her kidnappers. His kindness is confusing Britt. Is he an enemy? Or an ally?

Layla Shaw is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life—no easy task for a seventeen-year-old who’s pretty sure things can’t get worse. Her impossibly gorgeous best friend, Zayne, is forever off-limits thanks to the mysterious powers of her soul-stealing kiss. The Warden clan that has always protected her is suddenly keeping dangerous secrets. And she can barely think about Roth, the wickedly hot demon prince who understood her in ways no one else could.

But sometimes rock bottom is only the beginning. Because suddenly Layla’s powers begin to evolve, and she’s offered a tantalizing taste of what has always been forbidden. Then, when she least expects it, Roth returns, bringing news that could change her world forever. She’s finally getting what she always wanted, but with hell literally breaking loose and the body count adding up, the price may be higher than Layla is willing to pay…
